I'm playing a friendly game against an Eldar player. This will be my first game against Eldar. My thought was to focus on 1) Eldar are not fearless, 2) as Eldar are fastso I need to be relatively fast, 3) they can readily jink.

With that in my, I focused on the Charnel Cohort giving them -2 to fear tests and use of skull canons which prevent jinking.

++Charnel Cohort++

1 Daemon Prince: Wings, Armor, Goredrinker

8 Bloodletters with Instrument of Chaos

8 Bloodletters with Banner of Blood

3 Bloodcrushers (formation tax)

5 Flesh Hounds

5 Flesh Hounds

Skull Cannon

Skull Cannon

Points = 985 (I could be off a few here or there - don't have my codex on-hand)

Initial Thoughts on Tactics: Have Flesh hounds and blood crushers rush the board (blood crushers focusing on vehicles with their higher strength), have the skulls cannons drop back and take advantage of their large blasts and dreadskulls rule and have the squad of bloodletters with the banner secure objectives. Turn 2 Deepstrike Daemon Prince with bloodletters with icon behind the enemy lines.

Any feedback is welcome and I struggle a bit on what to do with a flying Daemon Prince when Deepstriking as you have hide them for a turn to get them into hover mode.
